Jurisics Castle, Medieval fortress in Kőszeg, Hungary
The castle features a double-moated structure with an outer and inner section, containing Gothic frescos in its northern part and Renaissance paintings around the windows.
During the Habsburg-Ottoman wars in 1532, defender Nikola Jurišić led a garrison of less than 1000 men to withstand 19 assaults from Turkish forces.
The castle museum presents exhibitions about medieval weaponry, local history, and a collection showing the connection between the Hungarian crown and Kőszeg.
Located in the historic center of Kőszeg, the castle maintains a theater space in its trapezoidal courtyard that hosts performances throughout the year.
The town bells ring at 11:00 instead of noon to commemorate the departure of Turkish forces after the failed siege of 1532.
